floormat

Doorway dirt catcher

A floormat is a mat placed on a floor to protect it from dirt, moisture, or wear—typically at entrances or in vehicles.

Floormats catch debris from shoes and can be shaken out or washed.

In cars, they protect carpeting from mud and spills: The rubber floormats were caked with salt from winter roads.

Also spelled as two words: floor mat.
